Whoever states that you will always stutter is a 100% wrong. There are many many PWS who have stopped stuttering enough to no longer appear speech disabled. I call this fluency. Do not listen to naysayers, you CAN stop stuttering. The mindset is key. More positive stutter/fluency memories and less negative stutter memories. Speak whenever you can in your fluent environments. Say out loud positivity around your stutter thoughts, like “My speech is growing better every day” or “My speech will be fluent today”. Say positive things whenever your negative stutter thoughts come into your head. Replace positivity with negativity and it has proven that it can make your stutter, and your life, better.
